Reply #12: Thanks for that. I have a question ...... [View All]

..... (please take only respect for you from this question).

I feel an inspiration from JFK that, it seems to me, can only come of having known him in real life, not as an historical figure. Its pretty visceral.

You say you always sort of knew about JFK. I understand you got that, to a great degree, from your parents. Do you feel the same about him as about an inspirational leader you know from your own life?

I'm having trouble articulating what I want to ask. I guess it may be a hard thing to compare. It also requires some understanding of what I'm saying I feel about him.

Anyway ..... any further light you can shed, I'd appreciate it.

(And gawd .... it pains me ..... I have kids older than you and I'm older than your mother. Just call me Geezer the Clown instead of Stinky! :) )
